Part A: Event and Significance:
a) Quality Improvement documentation (1854-63)
In 1854 when the British fought with the Russians in the Crimean war it was observed that cholera and diarrhoea was responsible for more mortality than the war itself. Florence Nightingale was a nurse during that time and upon her arrival to treat the soldiers, the mortality rate dropped to 2% from as high as 42%. She introduces few innovations like keeping the beds apart, keeping the horses away from the treatment area and also cleaning and flushing out the urinals and the toilets with charcoal several times a day. (Nightingale,1863). It was her meticulous record keeping that is still a key to present day statistical quality measurement, and she was an innovator in the collection, tabulation, interpretation, and graphical display of descriptive statistics.
b) Sanitary Commissions (1861)
Taking a leaf out from the Crimean war and understanding the need of clean and health condition in the army camps and hospitals.
